"It's you?!"

When Michael saw that figure, his brows furrowed tightly, "How did you escape from that volcano?"

Decades ago, when humans first observed the Seraphim Michael on the moon, they also discovered the fallen angel Lucifer who was suppressed under a volcano in North America and numbered him 004.

Since then, Lucifer has been suppressed at the bottom of the volcano. There has been no movement in the past few decades, and humans and other gods have gradually forgotten his existence.

Until now.

Michael didn't know how Lucifer escaped from the [Mortal Realm of God]. He didn't even notice it at all until Lucifer stood on the top of the mountain. Then he truly sensed his existence.

On the top of the mountain, Lucifer raised his face slightly. His appearance was the same as Michael's, with an indescribable perfection, as if it was the end of the aesthetics of all living beings in the world. The only difference was that his appearance faintly revealed a hint of evil charm.

"Do you really think that you can suppress me forever with just that [Mortal God Realm]?" Lucifer said calmly, "Michael, you are too confident."

"Even if you broke my seal, I should have noticed something... What did you do?"

"There are beings in this world who are far more powerful than you." Lucifer smiled, looking extremely evil under the pale lightning. "I just borrowed their power."

Michael stared at Him, as if he had thought of something, and spoke in a cold voice:

"Cthulhu? You actually joined them?"

"Whatever you say, as long as I can gain greater power, I don't care... Don't forget, I represent 'degeneration' itself."

Lucifer spoke nonchalantly.

"So, you'd rather be Zeus's lackey?"

"Running dog?" Lucifer sneered, "Michael, you seem to have made a mistake... It's not that I surrendered to him, but that he needed me for help, understand? He is just a chess piece of mine. Without me, how could he get that thing and wipe out the last Great Xia Kingdom in the world?

I'm here just to wait for you."

"You were the one who led him to the remains of the Key to the Gate?"

At this moment, Michael finally understood the whole story. He was originally wondering how Zeus found the fragments of the [Key to the Gate], and how could he, as the Supreme Guardian of Olympus, dare to use the fragments to exile the God of Great Summer at the cost of facing his pursuit... But if he had Lucifer's support behind him, then everything would make sense.

Michael, once the most powerful warrior in heaven, has reached the pinnacle of this world. There are not many who can contend with him, but Lucifer, the fallen angel and former king of hell, is definitely one of them.

Countless years ago, the Holy Lord of Heaven brought the Origin of Heaven to the moon to seal the gods of Kr. Michael and Lucifer fought on earth for three days and three nights but failed to kill him. This was enough to show how powerful he was. Moreover, now that he has joined the gods of Kr, it is hard to say how much his strength has increased.

"So what?"

Lucifer flapped his wings, and his figure moved into the air like a ghost. He held a pitch-black sword in his palm, and the entire space was torn apart by the two domains of brilliant gold and darkness!

“Michael…I have been waiting for this battle for decades.

Now, it’s time to put an end to this.”

…

Daxia.

Morning South Pass.

A plane slowly landed over the dilapidated pass. Shao Pingge, wearing a dark red cloak, walked out of the cabin with one eye closed. There were already several figures waiting nearby.

"Captain Shao." Min Junliang walked forward quickly.

Shao Pingge nodded slightly, "Sorry, I'm a little late."

"It's okay. You have to divide your attention to maintain the Dream Network, and you have to come all the way to Chennan Pass. It's really troublesome." Min Junliang smiled bitterly.

"Although the God War is over now, all the gods of Daxia are missing and we are short of manpower. This is the right time for some agents of foreign gods or other villains with ulterior motives to sneak into Daxia. Your dream net can capture all self-consciousness that breaks into Daxia's borders. It is our last line of defense."

Shao Pingge sighed helplessly.

"With my current state, it is already very difficult to maintain the existence of the Dream Network... I may not have enough energy to handle the internal affairs of the Night's Watch. I am afraid that I am not qualified to be the temporary commander-in-chief."

"Captain Shao, please rest assured that Chennan Pass is now operating normally according to the arrangements made before Commander Zuo left. There are not too many trivial matters. You just need to continue to maintain the Dream Network." Min Junliang paused, "Besides, if there is really any problem, your old friend and I can help you share the burden."

Shao Pingge was slightly stunned when he heard the word "old friend".

He seemed to have noticed something and turned around, only to see Yuan Gang, still wrapped in bandages, being pushed towards here in a wheelchair.

Seeing Shao Pingge, Yuan Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I really don't know what sin I've committed...Why do I have to do things for you no matter where I go?"

When Shao Pingge saw the wound on Yuan Gang's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Don't you realize it yet? You can't escape from my grasp."

Shao Pingge walked behind Yuan Gang and nodded slightly to the logistics staff pushing the wheelchair. The latter immediately stepped back. He held the wheelchair handles with both hands and led Yuan Gang towards the Chennan Pass Command Room little by little.

"How is your injury?"

"It's nothing serious. He just needs to rest for a while." Yuan Gang paused, "It's a pity for Zhang Zhengting and the others..."

Shao Pingge's steps froze, his tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and he asked softly: "They... died? Who else survived?"

Yuan Gang didn't say anything, just sighed.

Shao Pingge was silent for a moment, "Has Commander Zuo arranged his funeral?"

"It has been arranged. Their bodies are on their way to their respective bases. When the war is over, they will be awarded medals posthumously."

"……good."

"I never thought that you would be the one to shoulder the entire Night's Watch." Yuan Gang turned his head and glanced at him while sitting in a wheelchair. "How do you feel? Are you under a lot of pressure?"

"It would be a lie to say it's not big... Fortunately, I'm only the temporary commander-in-chief." Shao Pingge shrugged, "You should know that there are people who are more suitable for this position than me."

Yuan Gang looked at the dilapidated outer wall in the distance, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"You said... can they come back?"

"Yes." Shao Pingge said confidently, "They support the existence of our entire Daxia... It may be difficult for others to say, but they will definitely come back."
